[Nfbv-announce] Read almost anything with the ORCAM: Fairfax Chapter meeting July 21 Red Lobster

[John Bailey]

Hello All,



Our Thursday, July 21 meeting will be a bit different from previous meetings. The latest bit of tech that is the rage is the ORCAM. In short, a vision impaired person just points and the ORCAM reads it out loud. 



When I say “reads it”, I mean menus, books, printed letters, signs, street addresses, newspapers, etc. If you can point to it, the ORCAM will probably be able to read it to you. And, best of all, the ORCAM is portable and nearly invisible while you are using it.



Would you like to enter a room and know who is already there? The ORCAM can tell you that too with a little preparation. I can’t wait to use one myself.



At our July 21 meeting, we will have a hands-on demo of the ORCAM at the Red Lobster where we all can give it a try. Make sure to mark your calendar to be there.
